I know this book will be a huge, huge hit with the McCoven. Or not.

This tells me that if an abjectly stupid numbnuts like Damon Bruce can write a book, I have no more excuses. I need to get off my ass and finish my book.

Now I’m wondering whether he included a list of Best Bay Area Baseball Slash Fiction in his book.

Considering the source, he’d award a spot on the list to this slash writer I (and TK) know, who writes insanely overwrought emo 900000 word crap in second person present tense. God. It makes me want to weep and then die.

This douche isn’t even a fan of any SF teams.

Damon, go write a Chicago sports list.

That book cover is pretty terrible.

Note that the title of this book is “…Bay Area SPORTS Lists.” A few of the included lists:

Best Cheap Eats in San Francisco
Top 5 Non Sporting Events at Candlestick (Jesus, Damon, come on)
Quotable Characters from the Candlestick Days
Best Places to See a Concert in the Bay Area
Ten Best Movies Shot in San Francisco
Worst Pieces of Crap Filmed in San Francisco
Worst Hairdos in Bay Area History
Ten Great Quotes in San Francisco History

He wrote a book…full of pointless lists…and was published?
WTF

/throws away and deletes all previous work
/begins new work on Sacramento Area Sports Lists

Not to denigrate Sacramento’s sports scene, but just write one book on Leron and Leon Lee.

Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.

That’s worse than your idea about a coffee table book about coffee tables that can be turned into a coffee table.

Dear Mr. Bruce,

You need a new home. Your over-bloated sense of self importance and your outsized ego is just too big for radio or for northern California. This environment is too confining to contain someone of your – obviously to “good for the Bay” – caliber of sportscaster professionalism. You’re a big and beauteous sport-loving plant that has outgrown your bonsai sized pot. It’s time that you have been transplanted before you get root rot.

This all became crystal clear to me last night when you stepped upon your mighty soap box and claimed sports superiority over all other bay area sports figures.

“No one works harder,” you say.

Amen brother! You speaketh the truth while we hide in the darkness.

“No one brings the truth more,” you bellow.

Preach man – preach it! The truth shall set us free!

“I may get in trouble from time to time, but no one tells it to you straight like I will,” you quietly but defiantly reassure us.

Yesssssss! Rebelllllll Yelllllll! MF!

We are too lucky to have You Damon. We had brats and beer in Mr. Kruger. You changed that. We almost had MeowMix and dog water with FP, but you saved us. With you, great sir, we get the sportscasting equivalent of Kobe beef steak tartar and Chateau Lafite Rothschild. We are a blessed bunch – well from 7-10 weekdays, at least.

You shower us with such luxury, yet we do not show our appreciation. You spread your sportcasting light of hope across the land and we do not see. We do not buy your mighty tome in droves to delve deeper into the transcendental experience that is “BRUCE!” And we do not have appreciation for your greatness.

And so, you MUST GO! Off to a better place. Leave. Go to a place wherey the understand the value of BRUCE. It’s time – now – go – bye now…..
